A requester asked the society for records about her and her family’s interactions with the society during the 1970s. The society gave her access to some records, with portions redacted because they were not dedicated primarily to the provision of a service to the requester (section 312(3) of the Act). The requester asked the IPC to review the society’s response.
In this decision, the adjudicator agrees that the redacted portions of the records are about the society’s investigation of a group of people and are therefore not dedicated primarily to the provision of a service to the requester. He upholds the society’s decision to redact the information.
